Murder suspect was homicide victim

By MELINDA KRICK
Progress Editor
PAULDING The search
for a Paulding man wanted for
murder has ended as authorities announced the identity of a
body found Tuesday evening at
an area cemetery.
In a press issued Friday,
Paulding County Sheriff Jason
Landers confirmed the remains
found at Rochester Cemetery
near Cecil as Frank H. Tracy
Jr., age 47.
Preliminary results on the
cause of death were also released by Paulding County Coroner Joseph Kuhn. According
to the Lucas County Coroners
Office, where Paulding Countys autopsies are conducted,
Tracy was killed by a single
gunshot to the head, with the

manner of death being homicide.
In a related case, the cause
of death regarding Hannah
Fischer, who was found dead
on Feb. 9 in Paulding, has also
been released by the coroner.
Fischer died as a result of a single gunshot to the head, with
the manner of death being homicide.
My office will continue to
press forward investigating this
crime in conjunction with the
Paulding Police Department.
We believe these two cases are
related, and we will now focus
our investigation as such, said
Landers.

PAULDING Former
Paulding County Court probation officer Emily Munger was ordered to spend 18
months in the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and
Corrections beginning Monday. This was the maximum
sentence allowed by law.
Munger was remanded to
the Paulding County Sheriffs office by visiting Judge
Randall L. Basinger of Putnam County at her sentencing on March 21, having previously been found guilty of
theft in office (F4).
She left the courthouse in
handcuffs, accompanied by
her husband and a corrections officer.
The courtroom gallery
was nearly full when she
received her sentence. In addition to a few family members, her former employer,
County Court Judge Suzanne Rister, was on hand as
well as nearly all of Mungers former coworkers - including probation and parole
personnel, several elected
officials and a couple news
media representatives.
A restitution order established in January continued.
The $10,040 she had taken
is to come out of her PERS
account with any shortfall to
be taken from a $5,000 trust
fund set up for that purpose.
Additionally, Munger is
barred for life from any position of trust.
A position of trust according to the Ohio Revised
Code may be defined in several ways and can include
elected offices, public official or employee, prosecutor, or peace officer, among
others.
Before sentencing, Judge
Rister addressed the Court,
EMILY MUNGER
asking there be no preferential treatment or leniency for

her former employee, saying
her actions were shameful.
A brief apology to the
Court was Mungers only
statement to the Court apart
from answering direct questions from Judge Basinger.
The judge seemed appalled by her behavior,
which she admitted was over
the course of 2-1/2 years.
This was not a impulsive
act, but a series of acts ...
contemplated and chosen to
repeat over and over as an
officer of the Court, he said.
Stating her actions were
egregious, an ...appalling
breach of what the system
stands for, he said that if officers and victims cant rely
on the court system, the system is unworkable.
Trust is essential to the
working of the Court, he
said.
In addition to prison
time and paying restitution,
Munger will also have to pay
Court costs, which have yet
to be tallied. She was given
one day credit towards her
sentence for time already
served.
Cause of death announced

for woman found last week
By MELINDA KRICK
Progress Editor
PAULDING Preliminary results of the
cause of death involving Wilma A. Schwartz
of Fort Wayne were released March 16 by
Paulding County Coroner Joseph Kuhn.
Sheriff Jason Landers said that Schwartz,
44, was killed by a single gunshot to the
head, according to the Lucas County Coroners Office, where Paulding Countys autopsies are conducted.
No weapon was found at the scene.
Her funeral service was held March 18
near Berne, Ind.

Landers said he has absolutely zero
evidence that Schwarzs murder is linked
in any way to the recent deaths of Hannah
Fischer and Frank Tracy Jr., although all
three had been shot in the head.
Schwartzs body was found at an abandoned home on the State Line Road southwest of Antwerp, directly east of Woodburn, on the morning of March 14. Her car
was located in Huntington County, Indiana,
shortly after midnight last Wednesday.
The sheriffs department had requested
the publics assistance in locating a vehicle

very important to our investigation believed to belong to Schwartz. The car, a red
Pontiac Sunfire, was found just a few hours
later in a parking lot of a business near US
224 and Route 3 near Markle.
I want to thank the media for pushing out
this request, said Sheriff Jason K. Landers.
It took just three hours for a citizen who
had seen the evening news to report to their
local law enforcement. I appreciate the law

Sidewalks, improved downtown lighting coming to Antwerp

By JOE SHOUSE
ANTWERP - The Antwerp Village
Council approved the second phase of
sidewalk construction under the safe
routes to schools program, hired a a
commercial realtor to help develop
U.S. 24, and agreed to purchase new
LED lights for the downtown historic
light poles.
A resolution was approved authorizing Mayor Ray DeLong to enter into a
contract with the State of Ohio Department of Transportation for the second
phase of the Safe Routes To School
sidewalks. Bids will be put out on April
21 with bids being opened on May 2.
The sidewalks will start at Kroos
Street to East Canal to Harrmann Street
to the school turnaround. Cost for the
project is estimated at $170,000 with
no cost to the village.
The Antwerp CIC recently met and

elected new officers. President is Sara
Keeran, vice president Ray DeLong
and secretary/treasurer John Kobee.
The CIC agreed to hire Jason M.
Hamman of the Hamman Consulting
Group. Hamman, a licensed commercial realtor, is experienced in developing retail/hotel market analysis and
evaluation. Hamman will provide to
the Antwerp CIC a retail market and
hotel feasibility analysis with a specific
emphasis on the 84 acres next to the
U.S. 24 exchange.
At a cost of $6,591, the council
agreed to purchase 39 LED bulbs. The
bulbs will be installed in the 39 historic
light posts located downtown on Main
Street and East River. Once the project
is completed, the village would receive
a rebate totaling $1,560 ($40 per bulb).
With the AEP rebate, the final cost
would be reduced to $5.031. With the

LED lighting, the village would recoup
the cost in energy savings in 2.15 years.
A new safety capital grant in the
amount of $100,000 has been applied
for through the Ohio Development
Services Agency. If received, the grant
would be used to purchase a new tanker
truck for the village
The total cost for the tanker is estimated at $200,359 and would be used
to provide fire protection services for
Antwerp as well as Carryall Township
and a portion of Harrison Township.
Carryall Township has committed to
provide $17,000 per year for the next
10 years to assist in the match of the
purchase plus providing extra funds for
maintenance and upkeep. Notification
should be received sometime in May.
The public service committee has
developed an ordinance concerning
minimum housing standards within

the village. The Maumee Valley Planning Commission has reviewed the
ordinance, and although they feel the
ordinance standards were basic in nature, they did offer some suggestions.
MVPO noted they do not have time to
provide the village with inspection services due to their own comprehensive
housing programs; however, they will
continue to offer suggestions to Police
Chief George Clemens and what future
action can be taken.
In other business:
Police Chief Clemens said that 78
calls for service were reported in February with 61 offenses sent to Mayors
Court.
Police Officer Jessy May, who left
his full-time position with the police
department, has returned to his position
and will continue to serve on a full-time
basis with the police department.

The EMS had 25 runs during the
month of February and 49 total runs for
the year.
Mayor DeLong reported that
in January, 39 cases were heard in
Mayors Court with 36 cases being
resolved. For the month of February,
there were 66 cases brought to Mayors Court with resolution coming in
61 cases.
The first reading of an ordinance
authorizing the increased cost for tap
fees. This would be for new construction and would not effect the water or
sewer rates but just the tap fee. The cost
would be $600 to bore a line under the
road.
Guest Michael Wehrkamp was introduced to council. Wehrkamp is running
for probate/juvenile judge in Paulding
County.
Spring could be stormier
By JIM LANGHAM
Now that the calendar has made the big turn into
spring, weather spotters and forecasters in the area
are keeping alert on upcoming storm systems and
possibly a few surprises.
With one of the most active El Nios in recent
decades still in place in the eastern Pacific, weather specialist Rick McCoy said that the chance of
more unpredictable and erratic weather is greater
than what the area has seen in some time for the
spring months.
Weather systems fueled by the El Nio will
move across the country causing wide variation in
temperatures and occasional turbulence that could
lead into severe and tornado-threatening weather,
said McCoy.
Weve already seen an indication of this unstableness through much of March with fluctuating temperatures, precipitation and of course, the
surprise outbreak of tornadoes just to our south in
southwest Ohio last week, said McCoy.
McCoy said that the tornado outbreaks of the
south this winter are an indicator of what can be
expected in the Midwest as the spring weather pattern moves toward the north. He cited the example
of temperatures of near 90 in Oklahoma expected this week while a blizzard is predicted for the
northern plains later in the week.
This kind of instability is bound to bring some
trouble to our area at times, said McCoy. Right
now, the long range spring forecast is for temperatures and precipitation above normal.
McCoy said that the present El Nio has been
especially strong and long and has held on longer
than many meteorologists had anticipated. The big
question yet, said McCoy, is whether or not the
weather pattern will later shift into La Nia.
Sam Lashley, chief meteorologist at the National Weather Service office in Syracuse, said that
spotter information from Paulding County will especially be valuable this spring, if the storm pattern
comes true.
Paulding is one of those counties that is far
enough out on our radar screen that it doesnt always pick up what is happening at ground level
with particular accuracy, said Lashley. It is

slow going initially in registering teams for

this years event, mainly because it is earlier than
usual. Once things got going, momentum picked
up. This years 106 registered teams is eight more
than last years event of 98 teams, which raised
over $6,100.
One thing those attending this year need to
keep in mind is that there is going to be a detour
on Ohio 49 on the north side of Payne between
Roads 94 and 106, said Benschneider. Those
attending will want to work around the blockor
come in on Ohio 500.
Last year, the name of the event was changed
to Paulding Area Support Society as it was previously called the Paulding County Society for
Crippled Children and Adults. Society members
felt the old name reflected negative connotations
for a world where there is extreme hope for those
with special needs.
People have hope and we want to support all
of their hopes and dreams, commented society
board member Judy Fisher.
All things are the same as always, with monies
staying inside of Paulding County, commented
Benschneider. The priority is to help those in
our county who are disabled by some mental or

physical disorder, to help support them and make
things a little easier for them.
Society officials screen each application to ensure
that there is a need and that the need is not filled
by other means. Applications are readily available from any board member. Funds are limited,
so care is taken to ensure that they are not wasted.
Monies from the Marathon, the fall meeting
and individual donations throughout the year are
used for our county residents on such things as
medications, assistance with medications, physical and occupational therapy, handicap programs
and appliances such as wheel chairs, braces and
other needed items.
It is only with your continuous support that
we can continue to pass on any aid to our county
residents, said Benschneider.

Our time changed to what

we call fast time on Sunday.
I do not like the changing of
clocks back and forth. I wish
it would stay one way or the
other.
My husband, Joe, tilled one
of our gardens on Saturday.
He is getting spring fever and
is eager to get some potatoes
planted. I on the other hand
think we have enough time
yet. Joe and sons Benjamin,
16, Joseph, 13, and Kevin,
10, have the yard raked and
its ready to be rolled. We
had a big truck get stuck in
our yard. He thought he could
drive through it and it was already too soft so it needs some
straightening out.
I noticed the dandelion
greens are peeping through
enough where I think I can get
enough for a dandelion salad.
We like to put this salad on
top of steamed potatoes with
bacon or fresh ham. Not all of
our children will eat dandelion
greens.

Mose (daughter Susans
friend) has pulled the taps
from the maple trees. Maple
syrup cooking is now over

maple syrup has a really good
flavor this year. I tried eating
it on ice cream for the first
time. They were telling me
how good it is and I just didnt
think it would be that good. I
really did like it.
Saturday morning I had a
voicemail from nephew Joe Coblentz. This is brother Alberts
son. He wanted to let me know
that he and Amanda had their
third child Friday evening, a little girl they named Lovina! So
now their daughter has the same
name as I did until I married
Joe: Lovina Coblentz. Nephew
Joe laughed and said, Now its
going to cost you. It looks like
I better get sewing and make
something special for this sweet
little baby that shares my name.
Joe and Amanda have three
children now: Susannah, Harley, and baby Lovina.

Expect the unexpected

The changes that have occurred in my life since 2014
have been tough, but, I must
say a real learning experience.
You never realize how much
another person does until you
lose them and discover that
now it is just me who is in
charge of my own lifestyle. I
like to think of the old song,
My Way, because it has
been a lot of trial and error to
simply do things, My Way.
I have gained knowledge
on how to hang pictures, pay
bills, buy and carry in groceries (ugh), maintain my car,
drive various places, keep an
eye on the thermostats, remember appointments, and
basically I have learned to just
settle into a style of living that
suits me.
Mistakes are always made
even by a perfectionist, however, I am by no means a perfectionist. There have been
times I have locked myself
out of my house, lost my keys,
glasses, and cell phone. I have
had to choose the best way for
me to not forget or lose items
by trying to keep them in the
same place in the house.
One thing that has occurred
since 2014 is that I got a new
tool set and I have even used
a few of them.I am still trying to figure out the identity of
some of them, but it is so nice
to say that I have a tool kit. Of
course, we can always expect
the unexpected things to happen around our homes.
It was last week when I
started hearing a long beeping
noise. I had no idea where it
was coming from, but I just
knew that it was not a bird
chirping.
Every few minutes, I would
hear beeeeeep. I went into
each room and began to investigate as to where the sound
was coming from. I looked
outside. Nothing there to beep.
I looked out on the front porch
and nothing there looked or
sounded suspicious. Each
time I thought the beep had
stopped, it did it again. I went
upstairs. I listened and did not
hear anything, Perhaps it had
stopped. Then as I went downstairs I heard that annoying
noise again. Beeeeeep
I went into my living room.
I saw my chandelier hanging,
turned it on and then I jumped
up and down under it, thinking if it was the chandelier,
it would beep if I was under
it jumping. Beep beep It
was not the chandelier. I approached the kitchen. My
oven and stove were not on
and neither was my microwave.

for your Thoughts
By Nancy Whitaker
I finally spotted the culprit.

It was my smoke alarm. Of
course, it is located on high
ceilings, so I had no clue as
to why it was doing sporadic
beeping. I knew it had a button
on it that I could not reach, but
I could take my broom handle
and try and push in one of the
buttons. Everything seemed
okay until the next day when
the beeping sound came back
with full force.
By this time I was getting
frustrated and so I called my
sweetie pie who informed
me that it could be a battery.
A battery? Where is that battery? I asked. He told me not
to worry about it and that he
would come over and look
at it the next evening. In the
meantime, I just had to ignore
the sound and pretend it was
not there.
I have never had to change
batteries in a smoke detector
before, plus, I was just much
too short to even climb a ladder to reach it.
The smoke detector did get

a new battery and it has not

beeped since. It is amazing the
things a person can learn to
do when they are responsible
for everything in their home.
Some things like smoke detector batteries are nothing to
some people, but I know that I
learned a lesson about mine.
Life is full of learning and
doing new things. We just
all have to get adjusted to a
schedule and lifestyle meant
for us. So, naturally, there are
things I run into everyday to
remember to do and it makes
me feel like I have accomplished something, no matter
how big or how small. Life is
full of twists and turns, learning experiences and good and
bad situations. It is from those
experiences, we can gain wisdom.
Oh yes! Then it was time
to turn all of our clocks up an
hour. Another responsibility
and I hoped I would remember
to do it.As Neil Armstrong
said in 1969 when he stepped
onto the moon, Thats
onesmall step forman, onegiant leap for mankind. My accomplishments may not be big
ones, but there is a feeling of
satisfaction when I take small
steps.
What are some of your responsibilities around your
home? Is it cooking, cleaning,
bill paying, clock changing,
picture hanging, or battery
changing? Do you believe
that life is full of new things
to learn? Dont you feel proud
when you accomplish even
small things? Let me know
and Ill give you a Penny for
Your Thoughts.

Severe Weather Awareness Week

The Ohio Emergency Management Agency and the
Ohio Committee for Severe
Weather Awareness have
teamed up for Ohios Severe
Weather Awareness Week,
March 20-26.
Thanks to El Nio, Ohio has
seen a mild winter compared
to previous two years. This
month already we have seen
temperatures in the 60s, high
winds and the first concerns
for severe weather. No matter what the forecast is, unexpected weather can develop.
The NWS confirmed that
there were five tornadoes that
struck southwestern portion of
the state on Tuesday, March
15. Ohio has been fortunate
in recent years, with severe
weather, and that can create
complacency of not being prepared.
You should have plan in
place for your home, your
work place, at school and even
when you are away on business or vacation. What does
being prepared mean; having a plan in place for severe
weather, knowing where to go
for safety and having an emergency supply kit, ready when
needed.
KNOW THE WEATHER
TERMS
Know the difference between storm watches and
storm warnings.
For example, a Tornado
Watch is issued by the National Weather Service when conditions are favorable for the
development of tornadoes in
and close to the area. During a
tornado watch, review tornado
safety plans and be prepared
to move to a safe place if conditions worsen. Listen to a
NOAA Weather Radio or local
TV or radio stations newscasts
for storm updates.
A Tornado Warning is
issued by the NWS when a
tornado has been detected
by Doppler radar or sighted
by storm spotters. If a tornado warning is issued for your
area, do not stop to take pictures or shoot video. Seek safe

shelter immediately. Many
Ohio counties have outdoor
warning sirens that sound
during storm warnings. Continue to listen to your NOAA
Weather Radio or TV or radio
newscasts for up-to-date wcfather information.
Another way to receive notification of severe weather and
other emergencies is through
your mobile device. Wireless
Emergency Alerts (WEA) are
emergency messages sent by
authorized government alerting authorities through your
mobile carrier. WEAs can
alert you of extreme weather
warnings, local emergencies
requiring evacuation or immediate action, AMBER Alerts,
and Presidential Alerts during
a national emergency.
Paulding County will take
part in the Statewide Outdoor
Warning Siren Test today,
March 23 at 1 p.m. Schools
will take part in the statewide
tornado drill next week as
well. It is encouraged that you
consider going over and reviewing your severe weather
plan at work as well. Remember this simple acronym
During tornado drills or
actual tornado warnings, remember to DUCK!
D Go DOWN to the lowest
level
U Get UNDER something
(such as a basement staircase
or heavy table or desk)
C COVER your head
K KEEP in shelter until the
storm has passed
KNOW YOUR RISK
Learn and understand the
different types of weather hazards that occur in Ohio. Know
how severe weather could
impact your household, your
job, your community. Ohios
springtime hazards include
tornadoes,
thunderstorms,
floods, and even snowstorms
through early spring. Visit
the OCSWA website at www.
weathersafety.ohio.gov
to
view current weather in Ohio,

and to review severe weather
safety and preparedness information.
Also during the month of
March, FEMA and the National Weather Service kickoff
Severe Weather Safety Month,
promoting
flood,
severe
weather and tornado safety.
Know the difference between flood warnings, watches and advisories.
A Flash Flood Warning is
issued by the NWS when flash
flooding is imminent or occurring. If you are in a floodprone area, move to higher
ground immediately. A flash
flood is a sudden violent flood
that can take from minutes to
hours to develop.
A Flood Warning is issued
when the hazardous weather
event is imminent or already
happening. Listen to EAS
messages for possible evacuation orders.
A Flood Watch is issued
when conditions are favorable
for flooding to occur. A watch
does not mean flooding will
occur, but it is possible.
A Flood Advisory is issued
when flooding is not expected
to be bad enough to issue a
warning. However, the weather event could cause significant inconvenience. Caution
should be exercised.
During any weather event
(flood watches, tornado warnings, severe thunderstorms),
continue listening to local
weather reports via radio,
television or NOAA Weather
Radio.
Paulding County will be
taking part in the statewide
elementary school Severe
Weather Awareness Poster
contest. Students in grades 1-6
have the opportunity to compete. As part of the 2016 Severe Weather Awareness campaign, the Ohio Committee for
Severe Weather Awareness, in
cooperation with the National
Weather Service, is sponsoring the annual contest.

The Antwerp Community Development Committee (ACDC) would like to thank all of those who supported its recent wine and
cheese tasting event. The event was well attended, raising funds for the Antwerp Fire Department to help in purchasing protective
gear. A very special thank you goes out to the Antwerp Fire Department. These volunteers respond at all hours of the day, weekends
and holidays. Volunteering as a firefighter is in addition to their day jobs and family. They juggle many hats to serve our community
and save lives, homes and businesses. ACDC thanks them for all they do. ACDC members presented a $3,000 check to the fire department. From left are Tom Friend, Chad Geyer, Bob Addis, Kyle Recker, Gale Jordan, Lisa Bragg, Paul Fruit, Chief Ray Friend, Tina

Antwerp Report Card
By JOE SHOUSE
ANTWERP An overview of the Ohio Department
of Education Report Card,
approval for heating and air
conditioning upgrades and the
purchase of bleachers for the
football field and field lighting
improvements were part of the
Antwerp Local School board
meeting on Thursday.
Superintendent Dr. Martin
Miller spent several minutes
explaining the seven sections
of the districts recent state
Report Card. The district,
along with all other Ohio districts, recently received their
letter grade for each of the
seven categories. Although the
Antwerp district scored well in
most of the categories while
meeting 29 of the 32 indicators, Martin sees good things
in the overall report.
Like anything, when dealing with this type of testing
and vast information there is
good results to consider as
well as flaws. I am pleased
with what we have accomplished and the good news is
that we are all working hard to
make progress, commented
the superintendent.
The board approved a
$255,645 expense for the
building automation system
(BAS) and heating/air conditioning upgrades. Also, the

board approved the lighting

upgrades and bleacher updates
on the west side of the football
field for a coast of $71,574.
Electrical work was awarded
to Owens Electric.
The gymnasium lighting upgrades was awarded to Wise
Electric and will begin on
March 28.
Board President Dennis
Recker reminded board members that an online application
for enrollment at Vantage next
school year is currently available.
Kristen Stuart, district treasurer, updated board members with the February financial report. Receipts for the
month totaled $1,029,338.12
with expenses coming in at
$578,427.41. Interest earned
for the month on investments
totaled $2,194.01. Stuart reminded board members that
she had received the balance
of the real estate settlement.
In the absence of high

Now that spring has officially sprung, you might look
around your home and decide
its time for some sprucing up.
But you dont have to confine
your efforts to your house and
yard you can also engage in
a little spring cleaning in
your investment portfolio.
Here are a few suggestions
for doing just that:
Dust off your investment
strategy. Dusting is a big part
of spring cleaning. Light fixtures, shelves, windowsills
they can all acquire layers of
dust and grime that need to be
whisked away. And if youve
left your investment strategy
unexamined for a long period,
it too may need to be dusted
off and re-evaluated. Over
time, your financial goals,
family situation and even risk
tolerance can change, so its
a good idea to review your

overall strategy to make sure

its still appropriate for your
needs.
Get rid of clutter. Once
you start tidying up your
house, you might be surprised at all the duplicates
you find a broom in a bedroom, another broom in the
laundry room, a third in the
garage, and so on. Just as you
probably dont need multiple
brooms, so you may find that
you have many versions of the
same type of investment in
your portfolio. If you own too
many of the same investment,
and a market downturn affects
that particular asset, your portfolio could take a big hit. You
may be better off by selling
some of the too-similar investments and using the proceeds
to diversify your holdings.
(However, while diversification can reduce the impact of
volatility on your portfolio, it
cant guarantee profits or protect against loss.)
Remove stains on your
portfolio. As you clean your
carpets and furniture, you
might notice some stains that
should be removed. And when
you look through your portfolio, you might find some
stains in the form of chronically underperforming investments. Instead of holding
on to these vehicles with the
hope that they will eventually
turn around, you might consider selling them and using
the proceeds to purchase new
investments, which can help
fill any gaps you may have in
your holdings.
Consolidate your accounts. Have you ever discovered a stapler in one drawer, a
roll of tape in the linen closet
and a bunch of marking pens
on your desk? All these items
may be useful, but for the sake
of efficiency (and to cut down
on frustrating searches), you
might want to consolidate
them in one place. And you
could do something similar
with your investments. Specifically, if you have some stocks
here, a couple of certificates
of deposits there, and some
IRAs at still another place, you
might consider consolidating
them with one financial services provider. With all your
investments in one place, you
could possibly reduce the fees
and paperwork associated with
maintaining your accounts.
And when you eventually start
taking withdrawals from your
IRA and 401(k), you may find
it easier to calculate these required distributions if theyre
coming from just one place.
But just as importantly, when
you consolidate your investments with one provider, you
may find it easier to follow a
single, unified investment strategy.
So, there you have them
some spring-cleaning ideas to
help you update and energize
your investment portfolio. And
you wont even need a dustpan.

etc.), character building, honor
students monthly, plan cross-curricular lessons, and meet with individual students. Each semester,
students get to pick two classes,
some of which bring back some
electives that were cut in the past.
Since this program started,
teachers believe that communication with the principal has
improved. Student attendance
has also increased, discipline
referrals have decreased, and
students have found more self
worth, theyre eager to do more,
they develop more pride, and
hopefully grades will start to improve.
Teachers also shared that the
community is excited to see what
the students can do.
Students themselves felt BLT
made learning more fun and that
the student body is a lot closer.
They talk to other students they
would not interact with.

Tianna Sinn and Lorie Sinn try their hand at making speakers for their electronic gadgets using
everyday materials one might find around the house. This was a station they visited during Grover
Hill Elementary Schools STEAM night on March 10.
STEAM is a hit at
Grover Hill school
GROVER HILL On March
10, Grover Hill Elementary held
its first Family STEAM (Science,
Technology, Engineering, Arts
and Mathematics) Night. The
staff at Grover Hill Elementary
was overwhelmed with the positive community support they received, and had over 350 people
attend the evening event.
After a very successful Literacy Night in the fall, the teachers at
the elementary school were eager
to offer families a STEAM Night.
STEAM projects are an excellent
hands-on learning experience for
students to develop critical thinking skills.
The night began in the packed
gymnasium decorated as a train
station with its very own STEAM
engine. Teachers were dressed as
STEAM engine conductors, and
led activities at their classroom
stations.
Throughout the evening, families were able to travel from station to station at their own pace,
and were even provided a small
dinner of pizza, chips, cookie and
a drink.
The best part of holding this
event was the excitement for
learning that occurred in all students who attended the event. It
was absolutely wonderful to see
students and their families making educational connections as a
team. Although this was the first
STEAM event for the school, it
most certainly will not be the last.
Families had the opportunity
to visit 14 different stations which
included:
Trent Church of Wayne Trace High Schools Raider Robotics team demonstrates the team robot
to a young future engineer during Grover Hill Elementary Schools STEAM night earlier this month.
Pre-K/Kindergarten Zone,
with activities designed for little
ones.
Explosive Science, where participants could make a chemical
reaction.
Build a Boat, where participants built an aluminum boat to
hold as many pennies as possible.
Speaker Sounds, where participants created speakers for smartphones and iPods.
Friction Match Box Cars,
where participants raced cars on
various surfaces.
Insource Technologies, where

Marshmallow Catapults,
where participants designed, built
and tested their catapult on accuracy, distance and power.
Tower Building, where participants tried to build the tallest
tower in three minutes.
Heart Rate Math, where participants measured their heart rate
after performing various exercises.
Place Value Battleship, where
participants tried to sink their opponents numbers.
Solo Cup Challenge, where
using only string and teamwork,
participants had to stack cups.
Harmonica, where participants created their own harmonica
and analyzed the power of sound.
Tie-Dye Sharpie, where participants created a small abstract
art piece using Sharpie markers Gathering around a wading pool with a fleet of aluminum foil boats, participants of the Grover Hill Elementary School STEAM
night built a boat then attempted to see whose vessel would hold the most pennies.

UNFORGETTABLE GRADUATION Forty

years ago, the senior class at Paulding High
School graduated during a commencement
ceremony in the districts bus garage on account of rain. What an unforgettable event,
all dressed up in our caps and gowns, ready
to be given our diplomas, some delivering
speeches, accepting awards, and just walk
out to our Pomp and Circumstance, said
classmate Susan (Cooper) Knapp. But that
dream never happened. The sky became
dark; we were all lined up ready to walk onto
the football field; and the worst happened downpour! Rain, rain, rain! They graduated
in the bus garage, diplomas distributed from
the trunk of a car. Then it was over. Such a
disappointing day, added Knapp. PHS graduates of 1976 will be observing their 40th
anniversary, anticipating a date in August. Interested classmates should contact Knapp at
419-399-3408. In closing, she said, Hopefully
everyone can attend. If you still have your cap
and gown, dust it off. You never know; maybe
we will once again try to have a graduation!

RELIGION
Resurrection Sunday: understanding real living
By JOE SHOUSE
Even if you arent a sports
fan I think youll appreciate
this story about a college football team whose starting quarterback had just been injured.
Their second string quarterback was sick, and hadnt
even dressed for the game. All
the coach had left was a third
string freshman who had been
a quarterback in high school,
but who was just being used on
the college team as a punter.
To make matters worse, they
were backed up on their own
3 yard line. It was a desperate
situation, and the coachs only
thought was somehow to get
a little farther from their goal
line to give them room to punt
out of danger.
Sending in the third string
quarterback, the coach said,
Son, I want you to hand off
to the big fullback Johnson
for the next two plays, let him
run right into the middle of the
line and get us a few yards of
breathing room. Then I want
you to punt.
The young quarterback did
as he was instructed. On the

first play he handed off to
Johnson, but almost miraculously Johnson found a hole
off tackle and ran for 50 yards.
The young quarterback
called the same play again,
and once more, miracle of miracles, the hole opened again
and Johnson gained another
45 yards. The fans went crazy.
In two plays they had gone 95
yards, and the ball was on their
opponents two yard line. It
was first down and goal to go!
Confidently the team lined
up once again. The young
quarterback received the snap,
stepped back and to everyones amazement, punted the
ball into the end zone. As his
stunned teammates came off
the field, the coach angrily
grabbed the young quarterback and demanded, What in
the world were you thinking
about when you called that last
play?
The quarterback answered,
I was thinking what a dumb
coach we have.
Now that story sounds ridiculous, but the truth of the mat-
ter is that many college and

professional coaches today do
not expect their quarterbacks
to make decisions. They send
all the plays in from the bench.
Now obviously this week is
not about football but its holy
week. We need to see that
when it comes to our relationship with God, it was God who
has paid us the ultimate compliment. He allows us to make
our own decisions. He allows
us to call our own plays.
When He created us in His
own image, this was primary
among the characteristics
with which He endowed us
the ability to understand, to
reason, and to choose. With
this in mind, Luke 18:31-33
says; Jesus took the Twelve
aside and told them, We are
going up to Jerusalem and everything that is written by the
prophets about the Son of Man
will be fulfilled. He will be
handed over to the Gentiles.
They will mock Him, insult
Him, spit on Him, flog Him
and kill Him. On the third day
He will rise again.
Stop for a moment and think
about what you have just read.

Then answer this question,
Did I understand what I just
read?
I expect you to answer,
Yes, I understood them.
After all, they are pretty simple words. We do understand
words like mock, insult, spit,
flog, kill, and rise again.
We understand very well what
Jesus was saying.
The apostle Paul said, We
preach unto you Christ crucified. Unto the Jews that is
a stumbling block. Unto the
Greeks it is foolishness. But to
those who are saved it is the
power of God and the wisdom of
God. (1 Corinthians 1:23-24)
You see, the old rugged
cross is the very heart of the
message about Jesus.
That is why Jesus took His
apostles aside and said, I
have something important to
tell you. Were going to Jerusalem, and when we get there
they will turn me over to the
Gentiles, who will mock me,
insult me, spit on me, flog me,
and kill me. And then on the
third day I will rise again.
Now what could be clearer

than that?
Now lets go on to (Luke
18) vs. 34. The disciples did
not understand any of this.
Its meaning was hidden from
them, and they did not know
what He was talking about.
Isnt that an interesting verse
of Scripture?
So, why didnt they understand? In amazement, we
wonder, what is the matter
with them? Were they hard of
hearing? Why didnt they get
the message? Why didnt they
understand? I think there are
several answers to that question. We all realize that there
are some things we learn later
on in life that, as we look back,
were amazed that we didnt
learn sooner.
We reach a stage in life
where we look back and see
all the dumb things we have
done, and wish that somehow
we had known then what we
know now. How much better
life could have been if we had
just learned those lessons earlier.
A book written a few years
ago suggested that the first

parents were not Adam and
Eve, but God, and that the first
kids were Adam and Eve.
So God puts Adam and Eve
into the Garden of Eden, and
He has that parental conversation that all parents have with
their kids. God tells them,
You have the run of the garden. It is all yours. You can do
anything you want, but there is
one forbidden fruit, and I dont
want you to eat it.
And just like a lot of kids
today, Adam and Eve quickly
hold up their hands and ask,
Dad, where is this forbidden
fruit? God answers them,
Well, it is just over there.

PAULDING To no surprise, Wayne Trace senior
George Clemens IV was voted the Paulding County Wrestler of the Year in voting by
the county coaches recently.
Clemens wrapped up a state
championship season with a
record of 50-0, winning the
state title with a 2-1 decision over Genoas Damian
DEmilio in the 126 pound
weight class. He posted 31 victories this past season by pin.
It is a great finish to a remarkable season for him,
commented Raider head

coach George Clemens III.
He had a storybook year and
this is just a great honor to
conclude the season with.
Clemens also claimed Most
Valuable Wrestler at several
tournaments this season and
claimed Green Meadows
Conference, sectional and
district championships as
well. He wrapped up a stellar
career with a record of 18715. He also was a four time
Green Meadows Conference
champion, a four time sec-
tional champion and a four

time state qualifier.
I am so proud of him,
wrapped up the Wayne Trace
mentor. He worked extremely hard over the summer and it
culminated with a state title.
Receiving Honorable Mention are Pauldings Ryan Woodring and the Antwerp duo
of Logan Shaner and Justice
Clark. The Wayne Trace quartet of Ruger Goeltzenleuchter,
Tyler Bauer, Chase Marroquin
and Braxten Asher garnered
Honorable Mention as well.
Ryan Woodring was 3610 this past season, posting a

Northwest Conference championship and finished the year
as a district qualifier.
Logan Shaner recorded 19
pins and was a district qualifier
for the Archers, concluding the
year with a record of 25-13.
Justice Clark won the
and finished 28-7 for the blueand-white with 17 victories
coming via pin.
Ruger Goeltzenleuchter
also placed at the state meet,
taking fifth in the 120 pound

weight class. He finished
with a record of 49-5 on the
season, posting 22 pins and
winning invitational titles at
Lakota, Lima Central Catholic, Troy, Coldwater and Van
Buren. Goeltzenleuchter also
claimed championships at the
meet and in sectionals.
Tyler Bauer, a freshman,

ed first place finishes at Troy,

Coldwater and Lakota.
Chase Marroquin wrapped
up his Wayne Trace wrestling
career with a GMC championship before taking second in the
sectional and sixth in the district. He was 29-13 overall on
the season, recording ten pins.
Braxten Asher recorded
21 victories by pin in finishing the year with a record of
30-19. He took third in the
tournament and finished
fourth in the sectionals.
SUNDAY

Adam and Eve acted just like kids
in every generation have acted. It
wasnt long until they were eating
the forbidden fruit. Then when God
asked, Why did you do that? they
said the same thing all kids say, I
dont know. I dont know why I did
it.
Here is a profound suggestion. God
said, You cant live in the garden
anymore, and pronounced a curse
upon them. It was only then that God
told them, Be fruitful and multiply.
The author suggests, They didnt realize it just then, but kids were a part
of the curse. That God was thinking, Ill show you what it is like to
have kids who eat forbidden fruit. Im
going to give you kids, too.
In some ways the apostles were just
like little kids. Jesus told them what
was going to happen, and it didnt
sink in. Maybe part of the reason was
because they just werent ready to

learn.
There is another answer, though, to
explain why they didnt understand. 1
Cor. 2:8 says, None of the rulers of
this age understood it, for if they had,
they would not have crucified the Lord
of Glory.
Did you hear that? If the rulers and
the members of the Sanhedrin, and
the Roman soldiers, if they had understood who Jesus was, they would
not have crucified the Lord of Glory.
On Calvarys hill, while theyre
driving nails into the hands of Jesus,
while Jesus is writhing in pain and His
blood is dripping to the ground, Satan
is saying, Ive won. Ive beaten God.
Evil is triumphant. Righteousness has
been defeated. Satan didnt know the
plan of God.
It wasnt until three days later, when
Jesus rose from the tomb, that Satan
realized that he had made a mistake.

I played into the plan of God. I did
exactly what God expected me to do.
I crucified the Lord of Glory, and now
sinners can be redeemed and saved
from their sins.
Jesus told the apostles ahead of
time, but it went right over their
heads. They didnt understand.
So, today the question still remains
Do we understand? I Corinthians
1:18 says, For the message of the
cross is foolishness to those who are
perishing, but to us who are being
saved it is the power of God.
Finally, I think that is what happened to His disciples. After the resurrection their eyes were opened. Now
all the pieces of the puzzle started to
fit together, and these words of Jesus
made sense to them. For the first time,
they began to understand this teaching
that had just gone over their heads be-
fore.
Its the same way with us, isnt it?
It seems like this cross business and
this dying business and this shed
blood business is foolishness. Its
gory. We dont even want to hear
about it.
But then the Holy Spirit locks into
our hearts, and we begin to realize that
this is a personal message, and we
confess Jesus as our Savior when then
become His disciples. What used to
be foolishness is now wisdom. What
used to be weakness is now power and
strength. Suddenly, it all makes sense.
Because of the resurrection of Jesus
we now have power to change the
way we think, to change the way we
act, to change our lives. Here is power
to overcome our sins, to give us victory over alcoholism, or drug abuse.
Here is power to heal marriages that
are broken, power to aid the heart torn
apart by grief. Here is power to bring

families back together again, and to
fill lives of loneliness with something
better.
It is Gods power to change us, to
transform us, to make us new, and
to give us victory. We dont have to
walk around with our tail between
our legs anymore. We dont have to
walk around defeated by Satan. God
beat him, and Jesus conquered him on
Calvary. The strategy came off without a hitch. The victory has been won.
Hopefully you understand that and
will never let go.
Make your holy week complete by
not only experiencing the tragedy of
the cross witnessed on Good Friday
but the empty tomb on Sunday morning. For Christ rose again to give each
of us the opportunity to make our own
decisions. Will you make the right
one?

Plants yield valuable

essential oils
Unless youve been living
under a rock for the past couple of years, you know that
essential oils are enjoying a
wave of popularity right now.
Opinions as to their validity
for use range from fanatical
to thinking theyre the latest
snake oil.
Ill tell you right up front
that Im somewhere in between. I do not sell essential
oils, nor do I use any on a regular basis. Do I believe that
essential oils can be a valuable
tool in healthcare? Yes. Do I
believe they do all that theyre
purported to do by those that
sell them or are dedicated
users of them? No.
But I think theyre worth
taking a look at and understanding what they are, where
they come from, and how they
might help you. Know that
what I share here is my personal take on it and it is not
intended as medical advice.
Now that we have that disclaimer out of the way, lets
take a look at essential oils.
Wikipedia defines an essential
oil as a concentrated hydrophobic liquid containing volatile aroma compounds from
plants. An oil is essential in
the sense that it contains the
essence of the plants fragrance - the characteristic fra-
In the Garden
By Kylee Baumle
grance of the plant from which

it is derived.
Essential oils may be found
in various parts of a plant, such
as leaves, stems, blossoms,
seeds, roots, etc. In order for
these oils to be made available
for therapeutic use, they must
be extracted and kept pure and
unadulterated. The most common method of extraction is
distillation, but cold pressing
is also used in the case of citrus oils.
Several years ago, I saw
lavender oil being distilled at
a lavender farm on Whidbey
Island, Washington. The lavender fields are legendary in
that part of the country and the
fragrance that wafts through
the air when theyre in bloom

is splendid and seductive.
Lavender may be one of the
most familiar essential oils, but
there are hundreds of plants that
yield oils that provide not only
enticing fragrances that we use
in aromatherapy, but can be therapeutic in a very direct physical
way as well.
Many of our modern medicines have their origins in plants
even though many of them are
now made synthetically, so they
can be made in larger quantities
at a more affordable cost. So it
isnt surprising that essential oils
themselves are used in healthcare.
How can essential oils help
you? There isnt enough space in
this column to properly answer
that question, but here are a few
of them, with the properties that
they are known to possess:
Clove - Clove oil has antiseptic properties and is also
known to lower blood glucose
levels. It has been used for
over a century in dentistry to
relieve dental pain. That distinctive odor that most dental
offices have is due in part to
the use of clove oil medicaments.
Lavender - Lavenders

to calm emotions and foster
sleep, and because of these
The Pacific Northwest is known for its lavender, but we can grow it here in northwest Ohio,
too. One of the best for our growing conditions is Phenomenal, a relatively new variety bred for
exceptional hardiness.
qualities, it is used for treating anxiety and insomnia. It
has mild pain-relieving properties and may be helpful for
headache relief. Research has
shown that it can be somewhat
effective in treating hair loss
due to alopecia.
Ginger - Have you ever
used ginger ale for an upset
stomach? Ginger is wellknown to help with nausea,
being used for such things
as morning sickness, motion
sickness, colic, and loss of appetite. It is also known to have
mild pain-relieving properties.
Peppermint - This too, is
known to help relieve stomach
discomfort, and can also help
relieve headaches. It can ease

breathing difficulties due to
congestion and is often a component in topical medicaments
for sore muscles.
Lemon - Lemon oils uses
are legion. It contains bioflavonoids, which are contained
in some cold and flu remedies.
It is used to treat tinnitus, and
has some antiseptic properties.
In aromatherapy, it is used to
increase alertness.
Its important to note that
essential oils are highly concentrated and you should familiarize yourself with the
proper way to use them therapeutically, whether it be by
taking them internally, inhal-
ing their aromatic essence, or

applying topically.
A good guide to using essential oils is Modern Essentials: A Contemporary Guide
to the Therapeutic Use of Essential Oils (7th Edition) by
Aroma Tools. You may want
to consult with an experienced
aromatherapist, naturopath, or
physician before using essential oils on or in your body or
that of anyone else.
